Abstract
Disclosed are a means to convert compounds having physiological or pharmacological activity and unable to pass through the blood-brain barrier into a form that allows them to pass through the blood-brain barrier, and compounds converted thereby. The means is an anti-human transferrin receptor antibody and the converted compounds are molecular conjugates between physiologically active protein or pharmacologically active low-molecular-weight compounds and an anti-human transferrin receptor antibody.
